Michael Corgan<\/a>, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, was recently interviewed on\u00a0Russian President Vladimir \u00adPutin’s landslide re-election victory, as well as what his win means for\u00a0Russia, the United States and the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corgan was interviewed for a March 19, 2018 article in\u00a0The Boston Herald<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>entitled “Putin Handily Wins Fourth Six-Year Term to Lead Russia<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

From the text article:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo him, order means he stays in power,\u201d said Michael Corgan, associate professor of international relations at Boston University. \u201cThis is just a reaffirmation for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putin faced seven minor candidates on the ballot. His most ardent opponent, anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny, was barred from running because he was convicted of fraud in a case widely seen as politically motivated.<\/p>\n

For the United States and the rest of the West, Putin\u2019s re-election means the \u201cretreat of democracy everywhere,\u201d Corgan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s essentially been given permission by the Russian people, even though they have suffered some losses, to go ahead with what he\u2019s doing,\u201d Corgan said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
